Author's Note: Hey everyone, long time no type. Sorry about that, school, work, more school…. It all kind of adds up and that means no writing. Thank you to those who are still interested in my stories, I shall strive to make this the longest chapter I have ever typed! :D

CHAPTER SIX

Bored, tired, and completely aggravated; that about summed up how Inuyasha was feeling at that minute. Not only had he failed his math final for geometry, (He's only a junior and I feel like making him a bit of an idiot, so bare with me.) but he had also missed breakfast! How did anyone expect him to pay attention when his stomach was growling so loud people were starting to give him funny stares?!

He looked again at the ticking clock, willing it to move faster and for the bell to ring. The damn thing seemed to be mocking him, laughing at his discomfort! It just kept tick-tocking along at a snail slow pace.

Another growl erupted from his hungry belly, causing the teacher (who was sitting twelve feet away) to raise an eyebrow. Inuyasha let his head fall forward with a loud BANG! He wanted FOOD! Needed food!

Something poked him in the shoulder. He didn't react beyond a grumbled threat. It poked him again and he swatted at it with the back of his hand. On the third damned jab, Inuyasha sat up, turned around ready to rip someone's head off, and came face-to-face with Kagome. "Wh-what are you do-do-doing here?" He stuttered dumbly. She didn't have this class, he knew that.

Her unusual blue eyes were unusually cloudy and dark. "The bell rang five minutes ago, numb nuts. You fell asleep and nobody dared wake you…" She didn't finish as he leapt from his desk, shock written clearly on his features.

"What!? I'm missing lunch?! How the Hell did that happen?!" Inuyasha brushed past her as quickly as he could without accidentally knocking her over. He may be hungry, but he wasn't a total idiot!

The halls were empty as he dashed towards the cafeteria. Once there he practically flew into the hot lunch line, praying that there was something substantial for him to devour.

Sesshoumaru watched his "brother" as he jumped up and down in line, drawing unneeded attention to himself. 'What an idiot that damn half-breed is. He is an embarrassment to Inu's everywhere. How can I, Lord Sesshoumaru, hope to get out of this hell hole with my dignity if my own flesh and blood is constantly acting like an idiot?' He sighed heavily before noticing that Kagome was walking towards his table.

She was still a sight, even after a week of knowing her. Her hair was back in a long braid that cascaded down her back in a thick rope. Today she wore a black mesh top with fishnets crisscrossing underneath. Her navy blue jeans were shredded at the knees, making it look like someone had taken a knife to the material. She still wore the biker boots, but today they went all the way up her shins, overlapping the jeans.

Sitting next to him she lay her head down on her arm, her entire demeanor telling people to stay the hell away. Sesshoumaru looked at the monk, silently asking what was going on. Miroku shrugged his shoulder before watching Sango as she walked up.

"Sango, love, what's wrong with Kagome?" Miroku asked, his "cursed" right hand traveling ever closer to her…

Smacking him hard enough her hand stung before she looked over at her slouched friend. "I don't know." Leaning closer, she gently lay her hand on her friends drooping shoulder. "Kagome…"

The second she started to shake her friend, the dark haired girl lashed out, grabbing Sango in a painfully tight hold. As they all stared at her, Kagome lifted her head and turned slowly to Sango. The older girl gasped.

Kagome's eyes had gone a volatile purple. Her lips were pulled back in a snarl as her hand on the other girl constricted. "Leave me the hell alone. I'm tired, and the next person that tries to wake me up, or disturb me is going to end up hanging from the ceiling. Is that clear?" All present, even Sesshoumaru, nodded. "Good," Kagome whispered before releasing her hold and setting her head back on the table. (Hehe. This is me in the morning, and late at night. Now guess what's going to happen now that all the "smart" people have heard the warning… hehe :D XD)

All three of the table's current inhabitants ate quietly, not wanting to awaken whatever it was that had possessed their good natured Kagome. Sesshoumaru, who was sitting closest to her, eyed the girl curiously. Why was she so tired, and why was she so blasted angry about being tired? People were tired all the time, that usually meant they just had to sleep more later; but she was freaking impossible! He had never seen someone get so violent over a little bit of sleep deprivation.

"HEY!" Three sets of eyes turned to the fast approaching, loud mouthed, thick skulled hanyou. He stopped behind Kagome's resting form and snuffed. "What the hell is she doing?! It's lunch time, aren't people suppose to eat?" Inuyasha sat down on his hunches like a dog (I love when he does this!) and looked at her. "I'm going to wake her up." He said after several minutes of silence.

"NO!!!" Sango and Miroku said in harsh, whispered tones so as not to wake their friend. "Don't do that Inuyasha, she may…." Sango started to say, but was too late as the baka reached out and shook Kagome violently enough to knock her to the ground.

"Sorry!" He said, leaning forward so he could look her in the eye. "I didn't mean to shake you so hard, it just kind of …"

A hand was suddenly crushing his facial bones, the pale hand digging into his flesh. The girl slowly began to make her way to her feet, an aura of deep, angry purples pulsed around her. Kagome's hair was swirling around her gently, as if caught in a breeze.

When she finally stood tall, Kagome lifted her are high over her head, taking Inuyash with it. The hanyou hung a good four inches off the ground, his jaw and lower part of his face clutched in her small hand. Through a part in her hair, Kagome looked at him with one deep, violet eye.

"I told you to let me sleep. DID YOU NOT LISTEN?! (This is a line from one of my all time favorite movies: THE CHRONICALS OF RIDICK.) How hard is it to listen when someone says let them sleep?" By this time the entire cafeteria was staring at her. The demons appeared to be in pain, almost all were whimpering.

Sesshoumaru could feel her power as it washed over him. He felt his hair stand on end at the taste the power presented. If he didn't know better, he'd say that this woman was a miko. But that was impossible. There had been no true mikos in over three hundred years; his father had killed the last one to save a comrade's life. There was just no possible way that this girl, this Kagome, was a miko…

Yet, he felt the spiritual powers fluctuating off of the girl. Could practically feel his skin tingle with holy energy. His eyes took on a reddish tint as he looked upon this young human who held his brother suspended in the air.

It was a truly entertaining sight, seeing his half breed of a brother hanging from the grip of a human girl who could weigh no more that 120lbs. Still… If Inuyasha died, his father would probably end up blaming him. Saying he should have watched out for his "little brother".

Sighing heavily, the demon lord walked up next to Kagome and let his own power role over her. The girl shuddered as his red aura mad contact with her purple. Turning her head, but not taking her eyes off of the hanyou, she faced him. Sesshoumaru growled menacingly. She answered with a deep throated snarl of her own.

Sesshoumaru allowed his beast to surface slightly, hoping that his more primitive side could calm the anger in the small human female.

The Beast pulled him forward, close enough to touch the girl, but far enough away that if she attacked her could back off. Sesshoumaru felt his left hand rise to join hers on the hanyou's jaw. Sending demonic energy into her hand, he forced her to let go with a small shock of his power.

Startled, Kagome let Iuyasha fall to floor with a resounding THUD! The half breed looked up at her with a mixture of shock, and fear. He had ridden on the back of this woman's motorcycle. Had watched as she damn near caused junior high kids to pee their pants in fear, and then had laughed about it afterwards. But having seen this side to the normally gentle Kagome, he never wished to piss her off again.

Later That Night, Tashio Manor

Lord Toga InuTashio regarded his sons as the family of five sat at the rectangular dinner table that evening. Both were unusually quiet. Inuyasha hadn't said a word since he had walked into the manor. His head had been lowered as if extreme thought (yeah right) or in embarrassment. When he had removed his bandana, his white ears had been flattened tightly against his head of matted white hair.

Sesshoumaru was no better. His eyes kept flashing red as if Sess (his inner beast) was about to jump out and take control of the normally controlling demon. His left hand was continuously twitching as if something was bothering it. Sitting at the table, his eyes were on the bay window that stretched along the north wall, not his meal.

Irritated with the uncanny silence, the Lord of the West growled in his throat. Once his boys looked towards him he said, "What's wrong? You're both acting like sad puppies. Now tell me what is going on." The demand was clear, threatening even.

A moment past in silence as the two younger demons seemed to try and gather their thoughts. Sesshoumaru was the first one to speak. "Father, did you not tell us that you slayed the last known miko in Takem's defense?" His honey amber eyes focused on his sire, waiting for the answer.

Confused, Toga replied, "Yes. Why are you asking? I've told you the story many times, so why is coming up now?" A sudden smile lit across his handsome features. "Oh… I get it. You boys want to write about your old man's past adventures and just couldn't remember the story properly. Well, it was about…"

"No." Inuyasha cut him off, his voice rising with a slight strain. It sounded scratchy, and uncharacteristically rough. "We are asking because we want to know if it was possible for a new generation of mikos to come forward." Being the most intelligent thing he had ever heard his son say, InuTashio looked at him oddly.

"Well, yes. You see, the power of a miko can be handed down by generation and blood line. Bet several of the most powerful mikos and monks in history were an anomaly that just happened. Midoriko, for instance, was considered a genetic defect at the time. So, yes, a new generation of holy maidens could arise." He laid his chin against his now crossed hands. "Why?"

The half breed looked to his elder brother, as if asking permission. That by it's self was odd, considering Iuyasha could care less for his brother's orders or for his permission. The young lord nodded his eyes still on his father. Inuyasha slowly lifted his head, making sure to catch the light. Rin cried out in dismay. They had all seemed to have forgotten that she and Iziyoi (can't spell her name, help!) wer still there.

InuTashio hissed. The lower part of his son's jaw and neck were burnt. The area was and angry reddish black that had his ancient stomach ready to turn. The wound reeked of holy energy and had the old demon's hair standing on end. "Who did this?" He asked, kneeling down to get a better look. "It stings of miko, I can practically feel it trying to purify me, even though I am not the target."

"A girl at school did this. She had been going to our school for a little over two weeks now. Today, she was in an extremely bad mood. After falling asleep during lunch, the moron decided that it would be a brilliant idea to wake her up, even though we had told him not to. She fell over, right onto the floor. When Inuyasha bent to help her up, she grasped him where you see the marks, and lifted him several inches off of the ground. I believe he would have been purified if my beast hadn't awoken to calm her." Sesshoumaru told his father, a clawed hand running through his daughter's hair to comfort her.

Iziyoi rushed to her son, softly tilting his head so she could see the wound better. "That cruel, heartless monster. How could anyone do this to another living creature?" Bending slightly to kiss his brow she asked, "Does it hurt baby? I swear we are going to sue that girl and her ungodly family for all they have!"

"What's her name?" Toga asked, turning away from Inuyasha to face Sesshoumaru.

The teenager (in appearance) met his father's angry eyes, unflinching. "Her name is Kagome Higurashi."
